9. rNews
• rNews is NOT a software
• rNews is a linked data standard developed
by IPTC, with direct support for their
other metadata standards. It open for your
additions and definitions.
10. RDFa - Resource
Description Framework
• In theory RDF is a flexible extensible format
for expressing and sharing knowledge.
• Problem with the theory - The Web shares
“knowledge” using HTML.
• Solution: RDFa - a W3C standard for
embedding RDF triples within standard
HTML documents.
+ <HTML/> = RDFa

non structured
data
Without structured data search engines, social networks
and other sites cannot attractively format links back to our
site, potentially decreasing referral traffic.
18. Roadmap to the future:
1. Implement rNews standard and show
content as RDFa (and let datamarket.com
search your events)
2. Use external, shared metadata
3. Business model where IPR is handled by
metadata
New context for your content and
enrichment of your own context.
20. What can we do?
• We are building a technological
infrastructure in Bergen for shared
metadata/vocabularies and entrance to the
Linked Data cloud.
• rNews use IPTC - we already have the
IPTC standard in our RDF store, with
possibilites for editing, sharing.
21. What can you do?
• Look through the IPTC/rNEWS standard
